I reckon we'll see another rescue soon. 

 

Looking for cheap scooter rental, laundry and gym. 

 

OMG 

Frugal is always a good thing. Wasting money isn't a smart idea, as times get tough for everyone eventually. Also, the more money you save, the more you have for things you like, like women, food, weed, wine, beer and most important, your family.

He won't be the last old timer to be left with nothing after coming to Thailand looking for love in all the wrong places. Seems once guys hit 70+ years it's time for their Thai girls to take what they have and send daddy packing. Buyer beware.

I had a German Neighbour a few years ago,  best Neighbour u could ask for, he bought a House in his Thai wife's name  bought her a Car, and her Daughter a Car, what he didnt know was the wife  was  a Gambler,  playing Poker in undercover places, she  gambled, and lost  the house  on a poker table, the Car too. she told him she was going back to her Village for a weeks holiday, a few days after ...... A Thai man arrived at his house demanding that he leave as the House was now his, (poker winnings)    she had already trasfered the house into his name,  the German man now lives in a Room, iI see him regularly, he looks like a down and out, unshaven,  messed up clothes, the whole experience appears to have damaged him mentally....She's never to be seen again...

 

About half a dozen or so foreigners around me have lost several million baht due to wifes secret gambling. loads of them get into it...

Lots of men do- So what. It's the same in the UK & USA & Europe. We meet our wives in a pub. But here the cultural norms are slightly different.

So there is a explanation, the is a penny less, deadbeat.

Maybe this important information should be included in the article

having reportedly been evicted fro m h0is home by his Thai wife without explanation..

 

Not really rare cases in Thailand.

I have known several other expats who met the similar fate.

One man was said to be  found as the rotting body in the straw shack near the home he bought for his Thai wife.

 

Another is the American man in his 70s who said that he was locked out of his wife's home after giving all of his money($200000).

 

He had lived in Chiang Mai apartment a few years after that.

But eventually had to go home.

Some women all over the world, not just in Thailand, when they take over all of their husbands’ money and put the house in their name, they get rid of the man who raised her status and gave her something that he owns.

Plenty of hotels in town. 

 

Instructions...

1. remove credit card from wallet, check into hotel 

 

2. go to ATM, withdraw cash, check into hotel 

 

3. scan QR code at hotel reception 

 

If you get booted out with just your clothes on your back you may not have your wallet with you. 

Or wife has cleared the account?

Think about it.

My guess would be that this guy just rushed in to something without qualifying her sufficiently. Most men, in the US, Europe, and Oz, are no longer real men, when it comes to dealing with their women. Their women have made their lives so difficult, and alot of women have gotten so far away from their innate femininity, and have become dominant, and super controlling, and men just go along with it. Most men have become so hungry for love, or emotionally desperate for some kindness, and TLC. And most are so desirous of being around a real woman, who knows how to act like a woman, and manifest the dignity, within femininity. So, it is easy for con artists, to take advantage of emotionally wounded men, who seem to be willing to do anything to regain a semblance of normality in their lives, with a decent woman.

 

So always take your time, if it's good it's only going to get better, if it's bad the problems are going to start revealing themselves within a year or two. Never rush into anything, and if she pushes the timetable just push back, and if that doesn't work just walk. 

After reading that you ALMOST convinced me to turn Queer in my twilight years.

 

The problem is from what I’ve read in Thai news is gay farang men can have the same problems gay Thai men.

 

One example.  As I recall, several years ago a farang was shot dead at point blank range by his supposedly Thai boyfriend in broad daylight in Jomtien.  On the entry road before it curves onto the beach near the police station.

 

I’ll roll the dice with the ladies.

When a Thai woman, married to a foreigner,  buys a property the foreigner has to sign documents at the land office that it isn't his money.

 

You're talking a lot of drivel, as usual

I think it may be you that is talking dribble! I built a house in Thailand (still own it and have my little yellow property book) and as my late Father in law reminded to my wife! "He built the house, he paid for the house so its his house, not yours"! I never had to sign anything and there was a paper trail for every screw, nail and tile etc I purchased. When you build a house, the house is yours the problem is the land it sits on. There is nothing stopping you from knocking it down. The amount of idiots I've come across who put every last thing in their new wife's name. Cars, motorbikes etc. Oh it was just easier!!!  Grown ass men can be so stupid sometimes.

Just for started, a yellow bok isn't a PROPERTY book, it is just a confirmation of your address. So clearly you have no diea what you're talking about,and not worth a response to the rest of your ignorant post

As with many other cases throughout Thailand, sadly this elderly gentleman was hooked on, and married, a much younger Thai girl who eventually stitched and ditched him. Need I say more.

For reference:-

 

The case has reignited long-standing public debate over foreign-Thai relationships, especially those involving significant age and cultural gaps. Social media users and local residents expressed mixed opinions — some sympathizing with the man, others criticizing the perceived pattern of poor judgment among certain foreign men who enter into relationships with much younger Thai women.

What's more likely is that he's paid for everything and she's the problem, as most of us living here has seen over the years. Greed has many women becoming greedier, not appreciating the better life they are given and only the need for more gold , cash and cars to brag to her "friends". Normal women appreciate when a man takes care of them, but those with mental issues are wired to believe they always deserve more. Of course, he could be part of the problem, maybe a drunk or abuser, but obviously being a foreigner living here, he has enough money to stay.

There simply isn't enough Info to Crucify Anyone.  That doesn't stop several people here from doing so.

If you don't see the cash-flows and money movements of the last 3 to 5 Years, you cannot figure anything out.

It says wife (as in married).  At some point in the past, he had something to offer.  / It Appears, "Not Any More".

[Anthony mellows]

I would always keep your own bank account, with a sizeable amount in it, that only you can access.You have options then if things go awry.

Yes, impossible to judge without the evidence that it's either sides problem, as none of us are there. We can think that him, being a foreigner , has enough money to stay here, but we don't know. It could be her house alone, or both. Either, or both, could be abusive or drunks, or neither. Assumptions don't work.

I've been booted out before, always take my credit cards 😂

 

What is wrong with you? 

 

Only a complete idiot would leave without wallet. Are you a complete idiot, would you leave the house without your wallet? 

 

You THINK ABOUT IT

That's true, as we don't know anything of what happened here besides what the story says. She might have had help kicking him out of the house unprepared, and if he's a slight, older man, as he appears to be,  and there are men, family or friends of the wife,  younger or a few of them, he might not have wanted a confrontation and just left quickly without a chance to grab his things. Not being there, we can't assume what went down.

[norsurin]

In Karon years ago i meet a Swedish guy who lived on the streets there Have lost all his money and was on a long overstay.His wife in Sweden tried to help him but didn't have the money.This guy begging in the streets and was drunk everyday.I helped him with 500 baht and he bought lao kao right away.A few days after another swede came down looking for him.He was his old time friend.His friend gave him a room at a hotel.Bougth him clothes and food and i could see the hope in his eyes that this could end good for him.His friend contacted the immigration for a meeting outside the hotel.After that meeting things about his overstay was fixed.A week after they flew back to Sweden.There is some really good persons who help if they can.

Before you assume, read . This property wasn't bought. It was already in the family's name. I had the house built, and the house was put in her name, as it always is. Nothing to do with any money. I paid everything to build this house, so I can stay. It's still their land in their possession, although the government owns it

 

That sounds like a good move, thanks for the lesson.

 

So from now on I will build houses for people if I am allowed to stay there as long as the owner allows me to stay.

 

When I call a taxi I will also pay for the cost of the whole car as after all I was allowed to sit in it during the journey.

 

When I go shopping at a 7/11 I will pay for the building too as I was allowed to shop there, it all makes good business and common sense.

 

We should all do that. 

 

I have never been in the situation before where I can be kicked out of a property I bought, I wonder what it is like? 

 

I always wonder how logic goes out of the window as soon as farangs put one foot into the country, is there a secret brain extractor floating in the air I can not see, these farangs would not buy things in their own country which they are not allowed to own so why do they do it here I always wonder.

Unless you know the real reasons and story, button up. There could be many reasons. I know personally a man in Jomtien with a similar story. His daughter had to come over from France to sort it out. He was not broke and had a pension but the wife had burnt/ taken everything that she could. His friends helped with a room and clothes until she arrived. He was lucky.
